Hamas is targeting Tel Aviv now. 2 rockets landed in the suburb of Rishon LeZion. http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=291954 . I think we'll see troops and tanks in Gaza in the next 24 hrs or so. Story says FADJR rockets. Probably the Fadjr5 (Made in Iran). Range 75Km (~46 miles) which sounds right given the distance between Gaza and TelAviv, about 40 miles between the centers of both cities, so well within range.

Do you think we will see a more agressive Israel now that Obma is here for four more years? BEcause they can no longer count on us to keep the heathens at bay?

Absolutely! And i'm glad they'll be more agressive to the enemy. I feel all the United States has done for Israel is hold them back on a leash.

Picture a pole in the ground with a leash tied to it and a rageing mad dog on the other end, jerking on the leash. The pole is the USA and the mad dog is Israel. Now the pole isn't there, what happens?

More news today. Israel calling up more reserves, numbers being talked about are up to 75,000. Armor, infantry, engineers. A couple rockets landed near Jerusalem early this morning.

Nobody is interested in a cease fire at the moment. They're going to slug it out. Might end up as a tag team match.

Our good buddies in Iraq (you know, the ones we saved from Saddam) had this to say:

A top Iraqi diplomat urged Arab states to “use the weapon of oil” against the United States because of its alliance with Israel, raising more questions about the Middle Eastern nation's allegiance to the nation that freed it from a ruthless dictatorship.

The shocking statement from a democratic government in power only after the U.S. and allies ousted murderous dictator Saddam Hussein in a costly and bloody war laid bare the Middle Eastern nation’s true allegiance.

"Iraq will invite (Arab) ministers to use the weapon of oil, with the aim of asserting real pressure on the United States and whoever stands with Israel," Qais al-Azzawy told reporters in Cairo on Friday.
